`
`Plaintiff serves preliminary infringement contentions on the Dell
`Defendants in the form of a chart setting forth where in the accused
`product(s) each element of the asserted claim(s) is found. Plaintiff shall
`also identify the earliest priority date (i.e. the earliest date of invention)
`for each asserted claim and produce: (1) all documents evidencing
`conception and reduction to practice for each claimed invention, and (2)
`a copy of the file history for each patent in suit.
`
`Defendants serve preliminary invalidity contentions in the form of (1) a
`chart setting forth where in the prior art references to each element of
`the asserted claim(s) are found, (2) an identification of any limitations the
`Defendants contend are indefinite or lack written description under
`section 112, and (3) an identification of any claims the Defendants
`contend are directed to ineligible subject matter under section 101.
`Defendants shall also produce (1) all prior art referenced in the invalidity
`contentions, and (2) technical documents, including software where
`applicable, sufficient to show the operation of the accused product(s).2
`
`
`
`January 26, 2022
`
`
`Parties exchange claim terms for construction.
`
`
`1 The parties may amend preliminary infringement contentions and preliminary invalidity contentions
`without leave of court so long as counsel certifies that it undertook reasonable efforts to prepare its
`preliminary contentions and the amendment is based on material identified after those preliminary
`contentions were served, and should do so seasonably upon identifying any such material. Any
`amendment to add patent claims requires leave of court so that the Court can address any scheduling
`issues.
`2 To the extent it may promote early resolution, the Court encourages the parties to exchange license
`and sales information, but any such exchange is optional during the pre-Markman phase of the case.
